Would The One or Big One be good?
« on: April 08, 2006, 05:59:07 AM »
I'm posting this so I can tell my uncle what other's thing.  He's a low rev high tracking lefty.  Not a whole lot of axis tilt and 16-17 mph ball speed.  I'd give you PAP and all that but I havent measured it.  Just trying to get a general idea.

Tha guy that drills both my equipment and his told him The One wouldnt be good for him because he was a low-rev, down and in player.  He doesnt move in often because he loses basically all carry when he does.  7 pins galore.  I have The One and love mine.  Awesome ball on wood lanes but havent found how to kick a 10 out with it on synthetics.  Anyways on to my question.

Which one, if either, do you think would be good for him.  He has a hard time leaving 5-10s in the pocket for lack of drive which was why I was thinking either would be good for him.  He currently has a Hammer Big Deal, AMF Supreme Justice, Columbia Jekyll, and a Hammer Sharp Blade.  He just recieved an AMF Radar as well.  I dont know how any of these are drilled either.  I just want to know if you think this would give him that extra drive he's lacking on a good bit of lane conditions.

In a terrible slump now.  Average is down 20 pins over last year because I can't carry anything.  Not even Dyno-Thane can help.

That's what i thought.  I figure the one is probably better considering I'd say the typical shot we bowl on is med-med/dry at best.  Would you recommend the typical drilling pattern stuck on the ball or something different?

Interestingly, I have seen the One benefit the low rev, down and in players the MOST in my center.

The manager of the center calls it the "cheater ball".    He says it is no good for anyone with any hand at all... that might be streching it a little, of course.

I think it is a great ball, and I finally broke down and ordered one out of curiosity.  I don't think he could go wrong with either choice, honestly.

That's why i got one myself was out of curiosity and I LOVE it.  Havent been a big fan of Ebonite but this one changed my mind in one quick swoop.  After doing a little thinking and discussing with another ballreviews member I'm going to suggest this ball but also a few things to work on his game before he orders it.  Just want to make sure he gets the most out of the ball.  I nothing else get him to follow through better and stay with his shot.  Thanks for everything.

My Dad is a lower rev player, and was encountering some of the same problems you mentioned with your uncle.  Since drilling a ONE in January, he has been Super!!!  Plays up the boards, moves in with enough power to carry corners.  Most people in my area that are older with lower revs have shown improvement with the ONE.

How are the Ones drilled for the low rev down and in bowlers mentioned in the above posts....default drill #1 with pin above fingers on bridge and MB on positive VAL side of thumb 3 inches or #2 using PAP to lay out or some other ?   I have a lefty low rev slow speed bowler that is getting the One in a proam and needs this exact thing.  Thanks, Al

We have had great success drilling pin down under ring finger and MB out near the Val for alot of rev challenged with holes down. Very good midlane read but still clean through the heads for those with slower speeds also.
